"I'm so happy for you Demi!" Willa exclaims over the phone. "Does Joe feel a little left out not knowing but everyone else does?" Demi looked over at Joe who was trying to screw up a crib that they had just brought on their way back. They wanted to get everything ready as soon as they could before Demi got too big and couldn't do much for herself. She wanted to be involved and she couldn't do that when she was further along the pregnancy.
"Yeah I think he is a little bit but it's his own decision, he's in the room though so don't say anything in case he hears it." Demi warned slightly.
"I won't don't worry but are you happy?" Demi couldn't help but smile watching Joe as he concentrated, she doubted he was listening anyway but she couldn't risk it, not when he was so adamant that he didn't want to know.
"I'm really happy, I honestly don't remember ever being this happy before. I don't remember much from my childhood and the bits I do remember is my mom leaving us and my dad abusing me." Demi admitted laying her hand down on her slowly forming bump.
"I'm glad you're happy Demi though I still think you'd be just as happy if you were having the other gender." Demi nodded her head even though Willa wasn't able to see her.
"Yeah I couldn't help but agree to that." Demi stated making them laugh.
"I have to go anyway, I have some work to do. I'll talk to you soon." The two girls said their goodbyes before they hung up Demi setting her phone down on the side next to her. She continued to watch as Joe built up the crib.
"Do you want a drink?" Demi questioned.
"I'll get us some in a minute, you rest." Joe demanded softly not moving his eyes from the screw he was screwing into the bit of wood.
"How are you getting on?" Demi questioned again, she knew not to fight with him, he would end up winning not wanting to strain herself too much.
"I think I'm getting the hang of it, I haven't done something like this since I was younger. I always used to help my dad with putting shelves up and the rest." Joe confessed.
"That's the type of thing you could do with our children if they're into that kind of thing." Demi grinned slightly Joe smiling too.
"I'd love to do something like that with our boys or girls." Joe confessed.
"They look perfect." Joe stated as they laid in bed that night. He had a picture from the scan in his hands not having seen it. They had been busy most of the day trying to get the nursery together before Demi wouldn't be able to be as involved. They were waiting for the paint to dry before they moved everything in.
"I know they do, I'm just looking forward to meeting them. It's going to be a special day followed by a lifetime of fun," Demi replied feeling him kiss the top of her head wrapping his arms around her Demi smiling enjoying the feeling of his strong arms around her. "Can I ask a question?"
"Sure what is it?"
"When you're at work do you work out? Your getting stronger." Joe laughed squeezing her a little bit, Demi just enjoyed the feeling.
"Yeah I have a little bit, why?" Joe inquired letting go of her when she started to move, she just turned around in his arms so they were face to face. She leaned up pecking his lips gently before laying her head down on his chest able to hear the sound of his heart beating. It was soothing. She could feel herself falling to sleep.
"I like it." She mumbled closing her eyes one last time before she fell asleep. Joe smiled kissing her head before leaning back his head on the pillow. He wasn't comfortable but he wouldn't move if Demi was comfortable. He soon fell to sleep along with Demi.
